Those who are in the habit of in
dulging in raw onions, says medi-
cal man, may be coDsoled for the so
cial disadvantages which ensue by
the fact that onions are about the
best nervine known. No medicine is
really SO ef1icacions in cases of ner-
vous prostration and they tone up O
worn out system in very short time.
Their absorbent powers are also most
valuable, especially in times of an ep-
idemic. It has been repeatedly OBJ
served that an onion patch in the i'm
mediate vicinity of a house acts as a
shield against the pestilence, which
is very apt to pass over the inmates
of that house. Sliced onions in a
sick room absorb all the germs and
prevent contagion. During an cpl
demic the confirmed onion eater
should, however, eschew his usual
diet, as the germs of disease are pres
ent in the onion and contagion can
easily result.
